In the Kangxi Dynasty, Wang Fuchen has already surrendered to the court. Why did Kangxi still kill him? In fact, this starts with his background.
Wang Fuchen was originally surnamed Li, and was the son of an official’s servant. In the late Ming Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Wang Fuchen surrendered to his brother-in-law and followed his brother-in-law to fight everywhere, hoping to make a name for himself. However, Wang Fuchen likes to bet, and once he bet on all 600 taels of military pay. His brother-in-law Liu wanted to kill him, but he took the initiative to kill his brother-in-law and then fled. It can be seen that this person is very cruel.
After escaping, he surrendered to the sect of Jiang Xiang, the governor of Datong, Shanxi, and held high the banner of anti-Qing. It was at this time that Jiang Xiang had a subordinate Wang Jinchao admired Wang Fuchen very much, so he accepted him as his adopted son. At this time, Wang Fuchen changed his surname to Wang.
Wu Sangui leads Qing troops into Shanhaiguan, Chongzhen commits suicide, and the Ming Dynasty perishes. Dorgon and Wu Sangui immediately cleared the remnants of the anti-Qing Dynasty. Jiang Xiang was tired of the power of the Qing army and surrendered to the Qing army. Wang Fuchen naturally surrendered to the Qing army.
After surrendering to the Qing army, he was not highly valued. Wang Fuchen used Datong as a base and resisted Qing Dynasty and was defeated by Qing army general Ajige . Wang Fuchen was included in Xinzheku as a slave.
Later, under the recommendation of Hong Chengchou , Shunzhi thought that he was a talent and asked him to serve as the first-class guard in front of the imperial court. He then took office and followed Hong Chengchou to fight, made many military achievements, and was promoted to general officer. His talents were also seen by Wu Sangui and tried his best to win over them. Then he joined Wu Sangui's command and served as the general of the army to suppress the Right Town. He followed Wu Sangui into Myanmar and forced the Burmese king to hand over the Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang. Wang Fuchen was appointed as the admiral of Shaanxi and Gansu for his military achievements.
Later, the Three Kings rebelled, and Wu Sangui rebelled in Yunnan, and joined forces with King Jingnan Di Jingzhong and King Pingnan Pingnan Shang Kexi to rebel together. Wu Sangui sent Wang Shi to lobby Wang Fuchen and resist the Qing Dynasty. Wang Fuchen weighed the pros and cons, hesitated and looked at the wall, which also angered Kangxi.
Kangxi relied on Zhou Peigong and Tuhai to quell Wu Sangui, and then immediately let the two attack Wang Fuchen in Shaanxi and Gansu. Tuhai's army besieged Pingliang City. Wang Fuchen refused to surrender. Tuhai pulled the Red Cannon . This cannon was introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty. It has two types: iron and copper. It has a range of three miles, a sight and a gate, which can adjust the shooting trajectory. Because he was wearing red cloth, he was also called "red-clothed cannon".
The result is conceivable. After a burst of bombing, Zhou Peigong persuaded Wang Fuchen to surrender. Wang Fuchen handed over the "Pingyuan General Seal" and the "Seal of General Officer of Shaanxi East Road" given to him by Wu Sangui.
After surrendering, Kangxi continued to reuse Wang Fuchen in order to surrender more rebels, allowing him to serve as the admiral of Pingliang , and asked Tuhai to guard Hanzhong with him.
Three Feudals After the remnants were completely eliminated, Kangxi began to deal with Wang Fuchen, who lived in fear all day long. Wang Fuchen considered his situation and thought of Tuhai's grace for promoting him, and did not want to raise an army to implicate Tuhai. Wang Fuchen did three things: divorce his wife, spend money, and commit suicide. He asked his personal soldiers to cover their faces with mulberry paper layer by layer while they were sleeping, and they suffocated to death.
The book "Kangxi Dynasty" is a book that sets Kangxi to execute Wang Fuchen Lingchi for the sake of plot needs, which is contrary to history.
